Days 5 in Penn Yan, NY

Good Morning and Welcome Back to Bathroom Blues Travel Blog!

I missed posting last week due to finishing up on late-filing tax returns, so this week I'm continuing with Day 5 of our Penn Yan trip.

In my previous post, I shared with you our lovely accomodations, so let's get right into Saturday, August 1st and one of the main reasons my friend Nona and I traveled to Penn Yan (other than to see Penny LOL!).

On this day we had a booksigning at The Windmill Farm and Craft Market. This 26-acre site has grown to 40-acres and hosts more than 175 indoor and outdoor vendors.

Nona and I, alonw with Penny & Keuka Roots had a nice, large tent outdoors and were blessed with excellent weather the entire time!

In many of these outdoor markets, you expect to find Porta-Potties but not here. The Windmill has several large metal sheds turned into nice, clean, air-conditioned restrooms - which as you know, had me doing a happy dance. Especially since the ladies room had both seat covers and papertowels! 😀

Nona and I both sold several copies of our books. After our site shut down for the day, we roamed the many shops and bought souviners, amazing fudge and other snacks. 

We left tired and happy but the day wasn't over yet! After checking in to Vinehurst Inn and Suites, we went to Finger Lakes Beer Company for dinner (from Chris B's food truck - absolutely delicious!) and music. 

The 2-piece band, States Apart (named as such because one member is from PA & the other from NY) played a wonderful mixture of old rock and roll. Great dancing music! Have a listen then check out their Website & Facebook Page and go see them if you get a chance.


Another thing that's really cool about the Finger Lakes Beer Company is that the larger tables have a carving of Keuka Lake into them. FYI, Keuka Lake is the only Y-shaped lake in the US.


Oh, and the bathrooms were really nice too.

I hope you enjoyed today's post and that you'll check back regurlarly for more Bathroom Blues.

Until next time, travel safe!
